What is it? About 10" long. As far as I can tell the only thing out there that has horns is the pronghorn antelope, but this doesn't have the prong. And the shape isn't obviously right. Probably still a pronghorn though. Ideas?
Horn ID requested

I found this in the Carrizo plain a few days ago:

Looks like a bull's horn, there used to be extensive ranching in the plain before it switched over to monument.

Wow. That's such a simple answer, and is almost certainly right. I've never actually seen a single cow over there, but I guess there are still some. Thanks for the out-of-the-box thinking!
